[quote:Anonymous Coward 24946868:MV8yMTczOTMzXzM2NzY2NzE3XzZCMzlGOUYw] [quote:The Lighthouse:MV8yMTczOTMzXzM2NzY1MzczXzJGQjI5RDVE] Seem to me that the guy says in the next 7 days and not the next 3 weeks in this article. Quote; This object, half a mile wide is heading for earth and will hit Canada or Mexico in the next 7 days. Exact time and day will be added here later. This will be an extinction level event. The blast itself will kill millions, and the rest of the living beings will be erased within a matter of months Even when i heard the news i did not believe it. I insisted on seeing a copy, and asked them to recalculate everything. The calculations were sadly correct. The Story was posted on Tuesday March 19 So by April 2 either someone will have received the biggest April fish story ever seen or don't won't be any fishes left due to the comet, and this one smell like a fish story. http://www.globalg2.com/2013/03/19/man-warns-of-incoming-asteroid-that-could-change-the-world-as-we-know-it/ [/quote] I gotta agree....... "2 hours later the faxes came through from our U.S observatory." Faxes? Really? [/quote]

On average, objects of that size are estimated to hit Earth about once every 1,000 years.
"From the information we have, we don't know of an asteroid that will threaten the population of the United States," Bolden said. "But if it's coming in three weeks, pray."
In addition to stepping up its monitoring efforts and building international partnerships, NASA is looking at developing technologies to divert an object that may be on a collision course with Earth.
